RD Photosynthesis

Front

What is the main purpose of the light dependent reactions?

Back

To provide the energy for the Calvin cycle.

Front

In the overall photosynthetic reaction, which reactant is used in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?

Back

It is a reactant used in the Calvin Cycle to produce glucose.

Front

What is the role of ADP in photosynthesis?

Back

ADP is a product of the light-dependent reactions and is used to store energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the function of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a reactant in the light-dependent reactions and provides electrons.
